As the Judges cart Rico Dredd away for questioning and exile on Titan, his clone-brother Joe comes under scrutiny. They're cut from the same cloth; can Joe Dredd be trusted? An investigation begins, and Dredd is shipped off to an iridium-mining town in the Cursed Earth, which has come under pressure from mutant raiders. But everything is not as it seems. When the reason for the raids becomes clear, Dredd will have some tough decisions to make.

The first novel in the three-book omnibus, "Judge Dredd: Year Two", was better than I'd anticipated.
Dredd is still new on the streets of Mega-City One, & having brought down his corrupt clone-brother, Judge Rico Dredd, in the previous trilogy, makes him more, not less, suspicious in the eyes of the Special Judicial Squad's Judge Gillen. Proceeding from an assumption of guilt, Gillen's investigation sees Dredd sidelined & seconded to guard duty ⬇️

Bookwomble ... in a mining town in the radioactive wastelands of The Cursed Earth. Dredd does his thing and perps get arrested or deaded. It's hardly a spoiler to say that Dredd is found not guilty of the immediate charges, but it still seems Judge Gillen has her sights firmly set on Joe...
Some good characterisations and Dredd is more than just a Law Machine (though, admittedly, not much more). 4⭐ easy entertainment. Next installment up!
